A memorial resolution requesting the Joint Committee on the Library of Congress to approve replacement of the statue of Henry Mower Rice now on display in the National Statuary Hall in the Capital of the United States

This bill asks the U.S. Congress to approve Minnesota's request to swap its existing statue of Henry Mower Rice for a new statue of former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey in the National Statuary Hall. Under federal law, states can replace their donated statues after ten years, and Minnesota has chosen Humphrey to honor his long career in public service and his role in passing the Civil Rights Act. The state will handle the costs of removing the old statue and installing the new one, while the original Rice statue will be given to the Minnesota Historical Society. This resolution is a formal step in a process that requires final approval from the Library of Congress Joint Committee before the change can happen.
